Hmmm. Having lived my life (so far) in North American cites - I am equally accustomed to yes or no meaning maybe - but all under the assumption that, theoretically we are all supposed to mean what we say. That said, I have limited experience with the yes/no = equals maybe concept in other countries, though I've heard concepts like "Indian" or "Persian" "standard time" meaning 2hrs late, from people from either country. Customs and cultures are fascinating and can often be frustrating to people used to "a certain way of life". For instance, I would have to settle down a great deal before people arriving 2hrs late would be OK with me :)
With all due respect to all cultures, I do agree with your statement that keeping your word encourages people to trust you. It's my sincere belief as well.
